Need something quick and easy (and healthy) to bring to a party?! Your answer is here. Try this “Skinny 5-layer Dip” — it’s great with toasted Pita chips (and while it’s satisfying and tasty, it won’t add to your waistline). Here are the layers:
Bean Layer:
- 1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
- 1/4 cup salsa, low sodium
- 1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
White Layer:
- 1 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, non-fat (+ ½ cup whipped cream cheese optional)
Salsa Layer:
- 1 cup salsa, low sodium
Guacamole Layer:
- 3 medium avocados, pitted & skin removed
- 1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
- lemon juice
- sea salt
Lettuce & Cheese layer:
- 3 cups Romaine lettuce, finely shredded or chopped well
- 1 cup low fat (Jack or Cheddar) cheese shredded
Directions
- Bean layer: Mash beans with a fork. Add remaining ingredients and mix. Spread into 8 x 11 baking dish (or use x Ukonserve glass square Tupperware)
- Spread Yogurt Layer over the beans then add the Salsa Layer
- Guacamole layer: Smash avocados with a fork and add remaining ingredients. Mix and spread on top of Salsa Layer.
Layer Chopped Romaine over Guacamole Layer and top with the cheese. Tip: Ukonserve containers keep it fresh for travel — easy portability. I’d choose the clear rectangular one with the silicon, not only stores it fresh, seals tightly, but will make a nice presentation. Serve with your favorite baked Tortilla chips or Pita chips (or make them yourself).
